but where’s the
PowerPoint?
The spreadsheets sink in the rapids. Nettles tear
apart the focus groups. A thousand feet above sea
level, that sacrosanct client brief and the quarter-end
presentation succumb to vertigo.
Here begins the Quantum Leap.
Quantum Leap, our Corporate Outdoor Experiential
Learning Division, has been designed to tackle
some of the most sensitive HR issues in organizations.
Outbound Training has long been identified as
being part of the field of experiential education
and uses an experiential approach to physical
and mental development. The term outdoor education
has been used in a variety of contexts to describe
a range of experiences and during the last century
there has been tremendous growth in outdoor education
due to its effectiveness.
In our residential outdoor training programs,
participants live away from home and workplace
and are involved in the program 24 hours a day.
The programs take place in novel, predominantly
natural environments that are quite distinct from
participants’ typical home or work environments.
The outdoor experience is a key condition for
outdoor activities to become learning experiences;
the unfamiliar environment facilitates participants
in developing new perspectives about themselves
and their normal environments.
Our Philosophy
At STEP, all Corporate Outdoor Programs are grounded
in our philosophy of:
1. Experiential Learning: Experiential
learning is based on the belief that the process
of personal growth occurs through change as a
result of direct experiences. It is an active
process involving the learner being placed in
unfamiliar environments, outside their positions
of comfort and into states of dissonance. This
lack of harmony requires problem solving, inquiry
and reflection.
2. Challenge by Choice: In all
our programs, we apply the concept of 'challenge
by choice', and do not force or coerce any participant
into any activity. The participant is encouraged
to set challenging targets and encouraged to put
in their best effort to achieve this target but
the ultimate choice lies with him. In this way,
both success and failure in completing their tasks
will provide valuable learning lessons for them.
